Personal life
editIn her single "Glacier Rivers", Kreyelkamp thematized her coming out. In the song she is talking to her younger self, wishing her to be strong and brave enough to admit she wants to date women. She wants to encourage everyone who feels similar to stand up for themselves.[1][2][3]
Career
editKreyelkamp has released four singles on streaming platforms before her participation in The Voice of Germany.[4]
The Voice of Germany 2023
editIn 2023, Kreyelkamp auditioned for the thirteenth season of The Voice of Germany, singing "Rainbow Connection" by Jim Henson from The Muppet Movie. All four coaches turned, but Bill & Tom Kaulitz used their "block" on Ronan Keating, preventing Keating from getting Kreyelkamp on his team. Kreyelkamp ultimately chose to be a part of Team Bill & Tom, where she won the season on 8 December with 28.62% of the public vote.[5] Even before the official announcement of the title, Kreyelkamp was spontaneously invited by the Kaulitz brothers to join as a guest singer on Tokio Hotel's European tour in 2025.[6][7]
Upon winning the show, Kreyelkamp sang her original song, "Glacier Rivers", which was then released as a single. Following her victory, she was given the opportunity to sign a record deal with the label Embassy of Music under Ministry of Sound.[3]
